Thanks to cellphones with polyphonic sound processors, the world has re-embraced the MIDI. The problem is, most songs sound appalling in MIDI form – although this doesn’t stop people from sticking it on their cellphones.
MIDIs have a limited range, which is why I believe people should stick to polyphonic tones of the following two music genres – techno and Super Nintendo music. Let’s be honest, no one wants to hear Beethoven’s Ninth squawking on your phone in 16-bit beeps and bleeps.
What’s on my phone:
With Caller ID: Final Fantasy – Prelude (aka “the crystal cave music”)
No Caller ID: Chrono Trigger – Fragment of a Dream
I’ve never actually played any of these games, but the tones sound nice as MIDIs. No overly high pitched notes, and no aggressive melodies.
For some reason, my comments are not being taken in. So, I’m trying again.
Is it a bug? Hmm, that one just went thru when I submitted a comment thru the “Linkified” link.
It doesn’t go thru the “Comments” link.
Oh well, I was just saying that the polyphonic ringtone is just sweet. Where did you get it from?
Oh! I got the ringtones for free at MatrixM.
And thank you for letting me know the comments were broken. I believe I’ve fixed it now. 😎
